Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Seeing that the old man was really angry, Guan Lizhi didn't dare to talk nonsense, and walked out of the room with a flick of his sleeves.

A Chou was standing at the door. Seeing him, Guan Lizhi suddenly became angry again.

He pointed at his nose and cursed: "You loser, aren't you usually very capable? You can't even defeat two guards. You still have the nerve to stay in Guan's house. Get out of here as soon as possible."

A Chou looked panicked and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Young master, please calm down. A Chou has no place to go. I ask you not to give up and take her in."

Guan Lizhi kicked him on the shoulder and cursed angrily: "There is no use for a piece of trash like you."

A Chou shrank his neck and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.

"My lord, please forgive me. My lord, please forgive me."

At this time, the porter came to report that the Marquis of the North and King Anping had arrived.

Guan Lizhi then asked A Chou to roll up and slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion through the small door.

A Chou followed Guan Lizhi closely, the panic in his eyes was gone, and his eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Outside the corner gate, there was a horse tied up. Guan Lizhi got on his horse and said viciously: "Go to the gambling house. Just win today. If you lose, I will skin you."

"Yes."

A Chou followed behind him with lowered eyebrows and eyes, walking as fast as flying.

In the school grounds, Yin Qingxuan had commanded the Huotou Army to finish their work. Seeing the soldiers sweating from the heat, she wanted to get some watermelon to quench their thirst. However, since she couldn't get it directly from the space, she said to Qin Tian and Li Qi. I wanted to go home for a visit, so I rode out of the school grounds.

Yin Qingxuan's horse was not riding fast. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached Tianjiekou, he encountered a newly opened silk and satin shop. When the gong sounded, the horse was frightened.

With a long hiss, the front hooves stood up instantly.

Yin Qingxuan panicked and went to grab the mane on the horse's neck. The horse was pinched in pain and suddenly kicked up, knocking Yin Qingxuan off.

At the critical moment, a hand hugged Yin Qingxuan.

The other hand pulled the horse's reins hard, and the horse neighed, and the horse immediately stopped.

Yin Qingxuan looked up at the person who saved her, and immediately saw an ugly face that looked like it had been burned. Her heart skipped a beat and she jumped to the ground.

Only then did he realize that this person was the follower who was with Prime Minister Guan's grandson that day. His name seemed to be A Chou.

"Are you OK?"

A Chou's voice was hoarse, and his eyes showed some concern.

Yin Qingxuan took a step back, cupped her hands and said, "It's okay, thank you so much for this strong man."

A Chou smiled, and his face looked even more terrifying.

"You're welcome. As long as I didn't scare you."

Yin Qingxuan was embarrassed by what he said.

"The strong man is kind-hearted. How could I be afraid? I was just suddenly hugged and a little panicked."

A Chou bowed slightly: "I was really in a hurry just now, and I offended you."

Yin Qingxuan smiled and said: "If it weren't for you, I would have fallen off my horse a long time ago. I came out in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. I'll give you some money to defend yourself. If you don't want to stay in the Guan family, you can find a place by yourself in the future. .”

After saying that, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his arms.

A Chou immediately took two steps back and said with a look of fear: "You can't do this, little father-in-law, you should keep it for yourself."

"You're welcome."

Yin Qingxuan stuffed the silver into his arms and said with a smile, "We will meet again later."

After saying that, he got on his horse and went away.

A Chou held the banknote tremblingly and put it in his arms for a long time. He didn't walk into the casino until Yin Qingxuan disappeared.

Prime Minister's House.

Ye Jingyao was invited to the table by Gao, and Guan Mengting personally made tea for the two of them.

He said with a respectful look: "I heard that the prince was sick, I was very worried. I was thinking of going over to visit. I wonder how the prince is doing. Have you sought treatment from the imperial doctor?"

Ye Jingyao snorted and said: "I'm just asking for illness. Jiangwu's soldiers are barbaric and the journey is long. I don't want to suffer that. I came here today just to ask the Prime Minister if he can help me." The king will not go to Jiangwu."

Guan Mengting suddenly realized: "So that's it. I thought the prince was really ill. However, since the emperor has made up his mind, it may not be easy to change it. Just like the auspicious star incident, although everyone complained, no one dared explain."

Ye Jingyao didn't know about this yet, so he couldn't help asking: "What lucky star?"

Guan Mengting laughed and said: "That's what happened. Recently, Si Tianjian calculated that there is a lucky star to bless us in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This lucky star is still a child. The emperor has found this lucky star and brought it into the palace. Alas, many people are talking about it. One after another."

Ye Jingyao couldn't help but look at each other with Beifanghou.

The Marquis of the North said: "Don't you, Your Majesty, always disbelieve in these things about strange powers and gods?"

Guan Mengting shook his head and said helplessly: "Perhaps there was a severe drought, and the emperor also became ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry."

Ye Jingyao suddenly laughed.

"I didn't expect that Ye Jingyu would believe this, and the people's saliva would be enough to drown him. He only did such stupid things after only one year on the throne, and his energy is exhausted."

The Marquis of the North thought for a while and said: "The people are still the people. As long as the courtiers don't say anything, no one can shake the foundation of the country."

Guan Mengting said thoughtfully: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that people in Huzhou have rebelled. If this matter spreads, it will definitely lose the support of the people. I don't know how the emperor did such a stupid thing. It is really puzzling to me. !”

Ye Jingyao's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

"There is nothing to explain. If he wants to die, he will not live. If the people cannot eat, they will definitely resent Ye Jingyu. As long as this fire is lit, I will not have to go to Jiangwu."

The Marquis of the North did not speak, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

He was eager to make meritorious deeds simply because he wanted to enter the capital and be closer to his daughter.

If something unexpected happens in Beijing, everything will have to be reconsidered...

While several people were talking, Yin Qingxuan had returned to Mrs. Liu's house.

Old Mrs. Liu was not at home, and her children were all taken to Mihang.

Yin Qingxuan opened the door and entered the courtyard. Looking at no one, he took some large watermelons from the space and asked the driver to load them and bring them to the soldiers to eat.

Then he pierced the window paper and saw that there was still a lot of rice, so he went out with confidence.

When passing the teahouse, I heard someone whispering: "People say that after three years on the throne, you will faint. Our emperor has only been on the throne for one year, and he believes in auspicious stars. He also said that a child can bless good weather in the week. I think Today, it won’t rain for a while.”

"Yeah, that's ridiculous."

Another person said: "I heard that there have been uprisings in many places. Looking at this country, I can't tell."

"Stop talking. I heard that the imperial court has many secret guards among the people. If they hear about it, they will be beheaded."

As soon as the few people finished speaking, a man wearing a coarse cloth stood up from the corner...
